I'm delighted to announce that today's post is all about the talented artist, designer and creator of Laughing Vixen 'Kris'! Stop by her Etsy shop and you'll see it described as a ' mix of Retro Kitsch, Rockabilly Chic, Vintage Horror and Pop Culture Obsession' but is also so much more! Her shop (which I adore) is full of treasuries which include necklaces, compact mirrors, pillboxes, rings, charm bracelets and other 'needful things'. Designs range from 'Supernatural and the Zombie Apocalpyse to Fairytales and Alice In Wonderland!

I interviewed Kris as part of this feature and have shared some of her work, insight and aspirations with you. I have also included several of my favourite designs from her shop including the beautifully detailed Zombie Apocalypse Charm Bracelet featured above :-)

Laughing Vixen - Maker of Sparkly Trinkets and Unusual Curiosities, Peddler Of Needful Things and Creator of Custom Designs. In other words I make jewelry and accessories with a fun and unique twist.

2. How did you get started in your field of work?

I had wanted to start a shop for a long time. It took a few years and lots of trial and error to get the product where it is today. I'm very proud of the shop and am so glad that people are enjoying it.

Oh my! Anything and everything. I'm a pop culture junkie so that's what you'll see in my work. There's also a heavy influence by retro and horror as I just love those styles. Movies, music, fairy tales, pin up girls, retro humor, Zombies, Vampires are just a start.

Hmmmm... that must be like asking someone which child is their favorite. I love every piece but sometimes some do turn out exceptionally well. The Mermaid Pinup Charm Bracelet I thought the colors worked really well. This has been a popular design. (see above for this design)

And the 12 Days Of Christmas Charm Bracelet is another popular design. I think the colors and the images work great together and capture a vintage Victorian feel.

8. Are there any projects that you are currently working on?

I'm working with some sites in a few different fandoms on some giveaways. So I'm working on getting some new inspired-by designs listed for The Walking Dead and Supernatural. Maybe True Blood too if I can find a site to work with.

"We have joined forces with some great Supernatural Fandoms to bring you an awesome Supernatural themed giveaway.
